One Nation Under God

 

Hi Friends!

This week at the Stamp Simply blog, the Stamp Simply Design Team have been sharing patriotic cards.  If you have not had a chance to check out their cards, I hope you will do so- gorgeous inspiration from all!

I absolutely love all things Americana and Patriotic and decided to create a Clean and Simple card using the Old Glory Bundle from Stamp Simply!

This card was quick and easy- stamp the flag USA image using Versafine Onyx Black onto white cardstock, heat set the ink with a heat tool and color the image with watercolor pencils and markers.

Once the image was colored, die cut the image with the coordinating die (also die cut two additional pieces from white cardstock to layer behind the colored image).

De-static a piece of white cardstock with an embossing powder tool, ink the sentiments from Old Glory with Versafine Onyx Black ink and stamp in the upper area and lower right hand area. 

Apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Trim and mount onto a piece of red cardstock.

Add the layered die cut image of the flag USA  with dimensional foam to finish off the card.

I enjoy playing along with online challenges and am participating with the Fab ’n Funky #575 Use A Sentiment Challenge, the Tic Tac Toe #214 Featured Designer Joanne Challenge (right hand row down- Die Cut, Bright Colors, CAS)  along with the Word Art Wednesday #601-#602 “Anything Goes” Challenge.
